I think what he was trying to say was you need to put a command in ~/.bash_profile to source ~/.bashrc. Bash reads ~/.bashrc if the shell is interactive and it's NOT a login shell. If it's a login shell, bash sources ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile, but not ~/.bashrc. So, unless you have setting for non-login shells that you don't want login shells to share, the thing to do is add a line like: > > #This file is sourced by bash when you log in interactively. > > [ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc to your ~/.bash_profile. To test if this the problem, run bash again from within your first bash (i.e., type "bash" at the command prompt). Is your ~/.bashrc being sourced now? (I'll go ahead and guess yes.) Now run a login bash (type "bash -l" at the command prompt). This time, no ~/.bashrc. Is that what's happening? Hope this helps. -- Luke -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
